Exclusive information security event brings together local CISO community to discuss and share the latest in network security solutions, including security analytics and visualization

AUSTIN, Texas — April 30, 2013 — 21CT Inc., the leading provider of investigative analytics and pattern-detection solutions, will be sponsoring this week’s 2013 Houston CISO Executive Summit, which includes a featured panel led by Brian Engle, CISO of the state of Texas. Mr. Engle will join fellow panelists Doug Jacoby, CISO of Baker Hughes Inc., and Derek Rude, director, IT security at Weatherford International, to discuss best practices for incident response.

Ability to fuse and correlate multiple network data sets delivers unprecedented level of security intelligence and visibility

AUSTIN, Texas— April 24, 2013 — 21CT Inc. today introduced the Sourcefire Data Connector for LYNXeon, the leading investigative analytics and pattern detection solution for operational security insight. Enterprises, service providers and government organizations are drowning in disparate network data sets that individually provide little insight. Using LYNXeon, organizations collect all network data, including critical alerts and logs generated from Sourcefire solutions, and fuse them together. As a result, network security teams can visualize the interconnected patterns between once disparate information and immediately use that insight to discover never before seen incident patterns and detect embedded cyber attackers.

When it comes to fighting today's increasingly sophisticated fraud schemes, industry experts are recognizing the unique role that advanced fraud detection solutions from IBM, SAS, RSA, and 21CT can play in the fight by empowering analysts to hunt down fraudulent activity within massive amounts of disparate data. A recent article in Enterprise Apps Today highlights this new breed of fraud detection solutions. In the article, Kyle Flaherty, VP of Marketing at 21CT, notes that "Fraud detection is a human versus human battle." Detecting fraud perpetrated by intelligent and highly capable fraudsters requires an equally intelligent, creative, and experienced fraud analyst hunting them down, discovering links, and detecting patterns of behavior.

As cyber attacks become more frequent, more damaging, and more public, the issue of cyber security is now more important than ever. In late February, Dr. Fred Chang, President and COO of 21CT, a leading provider of investigative analytics and pattern detection solutions, testified before a U.S. House of Representatives committee hearing on ‘Cyber R&D Challenges and Solutions’.

Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG) discusses the Big Data Security Analytics market and what CISOs should look for when looking at these technologies. 21CT is highlighted in the report for the ability to perform big data security analytics and visualization.

21CT one of the companies listed that CISOs should watch for rapid innovation in product intelligence, data sharing, visualization, and useability

21CT Inc., provider of investigative analytics and pattern-detection solutions, today announced enhanced graph search capabilities for LYNXeon™. Challenged by commodity tools that simply regurgitate log data, enterprises and government organizations need more effective and efficient solutions that can turn big data into big insight. Using the newly enhanced LYNXeon graph search, these organizations now intuitively correlate and visualize data to detect never before seen patterns and gain the operational insight needed to identify embedded cyber attackers, detect fraud, and document criminal behavior.

21CT announced a twofold increase in data import performance, enabling organizations to import more quickly enormous amounts of data from more sources for analysis and visualization.
